It’s been four weeks since I met my goal of 148 pounds and I’m not doing too well in maintenance mode.  I am having mostly “fair” days, with a few good ones and several bad ones thrown in for not so good measure.  I was up several pounds since then and back down to 149 [...]

I’m wearing a size 10 jeans in the picture.  My husband says my thighs are too skinny.  He’s right.  Now that I’ve met my original goal of losing 100 pounds and then also the revised goal to lose 20 more, I have more up my sleeve.  I’ll fill you in on all the details of [...]

And it’s a good thing!  Usually when someone says they’ve hit a new low, it’s not so good!
The scale for weekly weigh-in this morning reported 149.  I lost the remaining binge pounds from a couple weeks ago and a couple more to finally break the 150 barrier.  Of the 120 pounds I wanted to lose, [...]

Today’s Monday weigh-in was a little disappointing, although yesterday’s wardrobe was uplifting — not even taking the new bra into account!
I gained a pound, according to the scale, so this week’s official number is 181. <sigh>
However, I wore my “college jeans” yesterday and not only was there no “muffin top” spilling [...]

I posted a while back about a pair of jeans I had last worn in my college days. Since I just mentioned my 40th birthday was coming up in April, you get the idea how long I’ve held on to these jeans! (I was a traditional-aged college student, attending right after high school.)
Anyway, [...]

Jennifer on February 23rd, 2010

Having reached a new “low” (the lowest I’ve weighed since college) I thought I would again try on the pair of jeans that I haven’t worn since college. I last tried them on five pounds heavier and at that time I could get them zipped and snapped if I laid on the bed. [...]

During the last half of October, I spent nearly two whole weeks without losing any weight. In the last six days, I have lost six pounds! I think it must have been the incorporation of the treadmill to my daily (or sometimes every other day) routine. How’s that for breaking out of [...]

Jennifer on October 14th, 2009

I got them up over my hips but they’re far from able to be zipped. Perhaps about 15 pounds would be all that it would take to get them zipped, 20 pounds to make them comfortable. They are a size 20, but I’m comfortably in a size 22 now. They must have [...]
